| No.866 PEKIN. It is now the wet season in the capital, and in lien of the clouds of dust that prevail during the dry weather, a soft thick mud covers the streets formed into deep tramways by the wheels of the carts; the shop fronts are gorgeous with paint, and gilding, but all these houses have more the appearance of temporary shanties than the settled abodes and stores, of a great city. The street here selected as a type of the rest is called Loo-mau-szu, and is in the Tartar city. |
